Diamine Inkvent – day 25

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!

We are finally at the end of the diamine inkvent calendar and for our last day, we have a full 30ml bottle of ink. It’s another extreme sheening one called Good Tidings, a really pretty purple black with green sheen. On some paper it looks more gold, depending on the light and angle.

As I am fairly new to fountain pens and inks, I’m very happy with this ink calendar. It was my first time purchasing one and I will definitely be purchasing another one next year for advent season.

Diamine inkvent – day 24

Merry Christmas Eve to all who celebrate! I’ll be going to my best friend’s house later this afternoon to celebrate with her, so I wanted to make a quick blog post with today’s color. Only one more day left. Tomorrow’s is a full bottle and I can’t wait to see what we get. 😁

Anyway, for day 24 we got another shimmer ink called Salted Caramel. It’s a nice honey brown color with some gold shimmer. It was very dry with my glass dip pen, but worked well with my calligraphy pen. So this will work best in a larger nib.

Diamine Inkvent – day 22

Day 22 of the diamine inkvent calendar is another shimmer ink called Nutmeg. It’s a nice brown color with some gold shimmer. It did seem a little dry with my glass dip pen, but did fairly well with my speedball calligraphy pen.

I did enhance the pictures again in order to get the color to match with what I was seeing in person. I also did a close up of both the onion skin and midori paper swatches.

Diamine inkvent- day 21

Day 21 of the diamine inkvent is another extreme sheening ink called Cosmic Glow. It’s a nice dark blue color with a purplish red sheen, depending on the light. I really like this one. I did an edit the pictures a little to try and get a closer match to what I was seeing in person.

I also played with some mixed media paper by putting down a couple drops of the color and smooching it with a plastic sandwich baggie

Also as a bonus, here are the past 7 days of inks on 150gsm ivory white paper
